Yes. While trauma and women's mental health are the primary focuses of my practice, I also work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress.

Your presenting concern does not have to fit neatly into one category. What matters most is whether my approach and areas of experience are a good fit for what you need support with.

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone experiencing emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, anxious, or facing difficulties in your relationships, therapy can provide support, coping strategies, and tools for personal growth

In the first session, we will discuss your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This session is an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine if you feel comfortable with the therapist. We will also discuss confidentiality and any other concerns you may have.

Typically, therapy sessions last between 45 to 60 minutes. The length and frequency of sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan.

The number of sessions needed varies from person to person. Some people find resolution in a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. We will regularly review your progress to determine the appropriate length of treatment.

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of therapy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will not share information without your consent, except in cases where we are legally required to do so (e.g., risk of harm to yourself or others).

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance. This allows us to offer the time slot to another client. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance may incur a fee.

Currently, we do not offer therapy services specifically for children and adolescents. However, we are happy to provide referrals to trusted colleagues and specialists who work with younger clients. If you have any questions or need a referral, please don't hesitate to contact us.

No, I do not provide both individual and couples counseling to the same clients. Ethically, it is recommended to have separate therapists for individual and couples therapy. This ensures that each person’s needs and perspectives are addressed without any potential conflicts of interest or bias. Having different therapists allows for a more balanced and unbiased therapeutic experience, which is crucial for both personal growth and relationship development.

Yes. Women's mental health is one of the two primary specialties at Healing Roots Therapy.

I work with women navigating the emotional and psychological impact of women's health issues and major health experiences, as well as trauma, relationships, identity, self-esteem, and life changes.

The focus is on the mental-health impact of women's health experiences.

Depending on the individual, this may include PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes, family planning, sexual health, chronic health conditions, body changes, and other health concerns affecting emotional well-being.

Yes. BIPOC women are a particular focus of my practice.

Therapy can include discussion of culture, identity, race, family expectations, gender, healthcare experiences, relationships, and other experiences that may intersect with mental health.

I do not provide medical treatment for health conditions.

My role is to help clients explore the emotional and psychological impact of those experiences and how they may affect mood, identity, relationships, self-esteem, sexuality, stress, and overall mental health.
